Given Australia is fairly dry country (current flooding excepted), we changed our water usage considerably: changed to a front-loader washing machine, updated the dishwasher to one with minimal water usage, and changed a lot of taps and our shower heads to low flow types. It's cut our water usage by 60-70%. In particular, the Miele washing machine made a huge difference.

I was wondering the same thing just a few weeks ago. When you open a photo in your ideabook there is three dots in the top right corner -that is where you can delete a photo.

sounds like there may be scope for a storage loft in the garage roof or the house? but anything stored in an unsealed space will get mouldy so you need to plan the storage carefully...we find that the tops of ceiling height wardrobes is an excellent indoor storage area and i have a gorgeous collection of vintage suitcases that are stored in a purpose built shelf to keep old toys and clothes and some tall glass doored Ikea Billy Bookases are only 30cms deep and will fit in odd spaces for storage of properly filed paperwork, photo albums and precious books but we really need to keep an index of where everything is as once the things are stored they can be difficult to find and i realise that it's time to cull some more to find something

You see, my kitchen isn't just where I whip up delicious meals; it's where the magic happens when friends and family come over. Picture this: it's Friday night, and the gang's all here. We're gathered around the island, sipping on cocktails and catching up on the latest gossip. The kitchen becomes the heart of the party – a place where laughter flows as freely as the drinks. And let me tell you, some of my best memories have been made right here in this kitchen. From impromptu dance parties to deep late-night conversations, it's where bonds are strengthened and good times are had by all. Oh, and speaking of good times, I recently introduced everyone to this amazing pico de gallo recipe. The fresh flavors added an extra kick to our gathering, and now it's become a staple whenever we get together.
